PSPdisp 0.3 Released: Use Your PSP as a Second PC Monitor

greg | July 10, 2009

Take a Windows display and USB driver, an application responsible for capturing, compressing, and sending screen frames with a little homebrew that picks up, decompresses said frames, and displays ‘em… You have the now better-than-ever dual monitor solution utilizing your PSP — that’s JJS’ PSPdisp. Get a load of this…

PSPdisp 0.3 changes…

New features:

  • SideShow driver for Vista and Windows 7
  • Speed improvements / CPU load reduction
  • CPU load reduction (down to 0 % without screen changes) when using the PSPdisp display driver
  • Rotation is now performed on the PSP, no increase in CPU load on the PC
  • Quality and delay settings now customizable through the UI
  • Completely revamped Wlan mode (switched server to the PC, can now recover from a lost connection etc.)
  • Added option to disable display streaming (only transmitting controls)
  • New option to always switch the PSP display to the screen containing the mouse cursor
  • New control file command to display an onscreen keyboard for entering text on the PSP
  • New control file command to display the PSPdisp menu at the current mouse position
  • Added support for the assignment of key combinations to PSP buttons (e.g. ALT+F4 can be mapped to one button)
  • Various settings regarding PSP power saving in USB mode (turning off screen, reducing clock speed, etc. after a user defined idle timeout)
  • PSP clock speed can be configured for Wireless LAN mode (default, 111, 222, 333 MHz)
  • All user defined files (configuration data and control files) now stored in the application data path
  • Experimental audio streaming

Bug fixes:

  • Case of analog stick movements not being registered
  • The two longest delay settings are now clickable
  • “Grab transparent windows” now actually works (only for 480×272 viewport)

Known issues:

  • There are cases where the PSP waits for a Wlan timeout infinitely, making it seem to hang without any message (always fixed by restarting the PSP game, often fixed by turning the Wlan switch off and on again)
  • Audio will stutter if data cannot be transmitted fast enough either because of the network conditions or low PC specs
  • Some applications issue drawing commands without apparent screen changes, in that case there is no CPU load reduction available when using the PSPdisp display driver

(includes Windows installer, drivers, PSP binary, source, etc…)

greg | January 15, 2009

Despite the minor version bump, we’re talking big changes for PSPdisp version 0.2. If you missed JJS’ initial release, PSPdisp enables your PSP to act as a second monitor at a 960×544 resolution. Extend your Windows desktop, mirror the display, whatever — it’s the dual monitor deal.

PSPdisp 0.2 changes:

New features:

  • can now mirror any existing display
  • works on 64 bit systems now
  • display driver for Windows XP x64

  • all resolutions also available rotated by 90° (portrait mode)
  • additional “Follow mouse” mode
  • selectable viewport size for “Follow mouse” and “Static” view
  • viewport may be rotated by 90, 180 or 270 degree
  • reacts on display settings changes, no restart necessary
  • multi-threaded, opening the menue will no longer freeze the display
  • PSP can be unplugged and replugged while PSPdisp is enabled
  • added option to automatically enable PSPdisp when the PSP is plugged in
  • installer can now copy the game files to the PSP
  • mapping mouse and keyboard buttons to the PSP controls
  • experimental Wlan support

Bug fixes:

  • installer bug marking the display driver for uninstall
  • stuttering display on some usb chipsets
  • “libusb0.dll not found” error when the usb driver is only preinstalled
  • display miniport driver failing to load on Windows 2000 (Thanks Raul!)
  • failure to retrieve the display positions when enabling the PSPdisp display the first time

Known issues:

  • if the Wlan connection is interrupted it will hang the PSP and Windows application
  • enabling PSP control may interfere with mouse and keyboard operation
